Kandy Rain, X Factor’s answer to The Pussycat Dolls, are said to be more than just singers and dancers.

A source told The Sun that the girls were previously strippers, a fact which won’t disappoint strip club regular, Simon Cowell.

The newspaper reports that Azi Jegbefume, Khatereh Dovani, Chemmane Applewhaite, and Coco Lloyd all met whilst performing at London lap dancing club, Secrets.

A source said: “All four girls met while working as strippers in Secrets.

“They want pop careers and have been saving up their tips for singing lessons and costumes.

“They love practising their dance routines at the lap-dancing bars, it gives them a space to learn their moves.”

The source added: “They are all really sexy girls and stripping keeps them fit.

“They’re all good pole dancers and very open-minded.”
